Streamlabs A multi-purpose site which can also accept donations. One of the most popular choices among streamers.

Programs to Stream with (or record)

OBS Arguably the most common streaming software on Twitch. It has many features built in as well as the option to expand with plugins. This is my personal favourite and design most of my Twitch overlays to work perfectly with this.

X-Split This options is probably the second-runner in terms of popularity. It’s a more ‘premium’ service in that you can pay for it. The benefit of this is customer support is available if you have issues.

Twitch Trackers (services for showing followers/donations)

Muxy My favourite stream alerts service. Easy to use for beginners with lots of customization for the more experiences.

R1CH’s Analyser A useful tool for analyzing the quality and stability of your stream.

Twitch Bots

Nightbot One of the most common bots. A great moderation bot with a web dashboard for convenience.

Moobot Similar to Nightbot with a few design and feature changes. Some extra things are accessible with points that can be paid for.

Deepbot A desktop bound bot rich in features. This one will set you back $5 a month but it’s definitely worth it.

Broswer Extensions

BetterTwitchTV One of the best add-ons for Twitch in my opinion. As the same suggests, it makes Twitch a bit better.

TwitchNow A useful tool to view your current followed live streamers as well as info about them. (Chrome)

Audio

VirtualAudioCables Useful for segregating audio streams. Example: you can listen to music or talk in a mic without it being in your stream if you so choose. Free and paid versions available.

AutoDuck Allows real time ducking of audio from another audio source. example: when you talk in a mic it can fade out your music and game volume. It costs money, but pretty useful if you want to make your broadcast sound like a pro!
